Sutton League Crusaders were up against it again during the weekend of 28/29 January as their No 1 player was out again with a back injury. The team had to recruit a replacement quickly and roped in their old friend Trevor Campbell to stave off potential embarassment!
With Dean Rose and Michael Loveder they found Redlands Bats had strengthened their squad and so a disappointing 1-5 defeat was the outcome. However SL Crusaders remained too strong for the Bristol Civil Service team against whom we secured a 4-2 victory. Title contenders RBL Yaxley and Pavilion took no chances as both put out their strongest sides against us and two 0-6's followed! Some consolation was taken in the last match of the weekend against Kingfisher (Reading) when the Sutton League Crusaders of Trevor Campbell, Dean Rose and Michael Loveder triumphed 6-0 to finish in 4th place, the team having played 10 matches and won 5 of them.
